Angora Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 7,644 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Angora is a 2-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA and houses 7,644 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Philadelphia baseline of 31.4%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.7/10. At $1,159 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Filings are well documented here: 489 across 2 observed tracts.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 10.7% of renter households.

Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 5.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Franklinville and Yorktown score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $49,417. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
